You can download and read free books from many sites, including ManyBooks.net. While it won’t read Kindle DRM’d books, it is a great way to read old classics.

It also has a few features the Kindle reader does not, like reading in Landscape mode. Which is really handy for the small iPhone screen.

I love my Kindle, but this is a great app for those interested in lots of free books on their iPhone.

It has had Whispernet sync capability since the 1.2 firmware upgrade.

ManyBooks.net has a better selection of free books than Amazon, but I picked up Edgar Allan Poe’s Complete Poetical Works and a couple Sherlock Holmes books. Right now I’m hooked on listening to audiobooks on my iPod, but those free books will give me a chance to see if ebooks are a good alternative. Might lead to buying a Kindle eventually…

There are 7000 or so. Also, you can go into any section of the store and arrange books by price to find the free ones.

Thanks!
